“Pets!” 
Commissioned piece I did for someone who gave it as an anniversary gift.  Each pet represented one of their pets either living or dead. The cat with the sour expression on the back of the sofa represented the moody/aggressive one. The cat lounging on the sofa with the mirror, pearls and fancy pillows represents the vain one, and the cat with winds represents the peacekeeper who has since gone on to heaven, but still tries to keep the peace. Of course you have your good and evil on either side doing their bast to influence. The cocker spaniel I suppose represents dim-wittedness.
